I packed everything up in Siyoram.

As I measured the resources stuffed into my spatial inventory, I couldn’t help but feel a little bloated.

I had gathered all the supplies, finished the winter break ceremony, and left my regards with the remaining fairies and the baby unicorn at the mansion.

I also spent some time carefully soothing Se-yul, who had become upset from the prolonged absence. It took a while, but we worked through it.

There was no more reason to delay.

I had to thoroughly explore the likely entrance to the Hidden Realm, and though time was on my side, it wasn’t as abundant as I would have liked.

"Mm."

The eyes of the students who visited the Gate Terminal were all trained on me.

I didn’t pay much attention to the small glances.

A thick fog blanketed my surroundings. Through the haze, I could faintly see the worried faces of the people close to me.

Worry and concern dripped from their gazes and voices.

It was like watching a child being sent off to battle, and I couldn’t help but feel my shoulders hunch instinctively.

At the same time, the memories of the past few days resurfaced.

Bloop, ugh...

Persuasion... or perhaps temptation? They had gently embraced me, trying to keep me from going to dangerous places, soothing and comforting me as if to protect me.

Whenever they found a moment, they would pull me into their arms, make eye contact, pet me, pat me, hold me, whispering affection...

Happiness was indeed the right term.

* Whooo...
